The Midsummer Night's Dream company is grouped around three portacabins in the lee of the ruined castle (knocked down by Stafford council in the 1960s) with views towards the M6 from behind the female changing cabin. I have had a fabbo day with The Little Horse, driving through the surrounding countryside & walking around Stafford, and now we have picnicked in the backstage area. The cast are getting into makeup & their costumes, with smoke carrying on the breeze as most of the company tuck into their puffery death-rolls.
I have brought up this computer to use my time profitably before carrying Toyah back to the hotel.

The curtain is down, the fireworks are up, the cast are off.
